The Cabinet is to meet in the morning to decide on the wording of the Marriage Equality referendum.

It's to be held in May, alongside a proposal to reduce the age for contesting the Presidency from 25 to 21, and the Carlow-Kilkenny by-election.

Once the wording is confirmed, the referendum commission will be tasked with preparing for the vote.

The wording should be published by the end of the week.
